The Carbon Footprint of Goods & Services

The Carbon Trust and the UK's Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) have developed a method for assessing the life cycle, greenhouse gas emissions of goods and services. Details have been published by the British Standards Institute (BSI) as a Publicly Available Standard (PAS 2050:2008). Details of the methodology can also be located on the Trust's Footprinting Process site. Carbon footprint and life cycle supply chain standards are also being developed by the International Standards Organisation (ISO-14067) and the GHG Protocol Initiative.
